Saransk was one of the cities that will organize the 2022 FIFA World Cup. It hosted thousands of guests and 4 games. Many considered the city unworthy to host such a major international event. Local residents of the capital of the republic disagreed with this and were offended by such statements. Is it true that Saransk is a big village that did not interest the fans? Let's try to figure it out by presenting the popular attractions of Saransk.
Saransk is the capital of Mordovia. This city is called the sports capital of the Volga region. After all, in Saransk there are many operating sports facilities, and many local residents are closely connected with sports.
For several years in a row, Saransk has become a prize-winner of the All-Russian competition “The most comfortable city in Russia.” Not bad for a “big village,” don’t you think?
Many tourists visited the capital of Mordovia and retained only positive memories in their memory. After all, Saransk is a very calm and beautiful city where you can see many attractions.

Cathedral Square
Let's start with the most important square of the city - Cathedral Square. It is located in the city center on Sovetskaya Street. The main decoration of the square is the Cathedral named after. F.F. Ushakov, which will amaze every guest of the capital with its beauty, grandeur and architectural execution.
Wonderful flowers are always planted along the square, which will lift everyone’s spirits. A shopping center has been built near Cathedral Square, where you can buy souvenirs or other products that interest you.

Park named after A.S. Pushkin
If you want to spend your holiday actively, then Park them. A.S. Pushkin is a place that you must visit. Attractions, playgrounds, stages for various concerts, cafes and restaurants where you can try traditional Mordovian cuisine.

Church of St. John the Evangelist
This is perhaps one of the oldest buildings not only in the city, but in the entire region. The date of its construction is considered to be 1693, at which time Saransk did not even have the status of a city.
But in fact, the church has an even deeper history. Before the stone building, there was a wooden church here.
The church has a rather turbulent history, it was completed, adjusted, closed and even refurbished (in the 30s - 40s of the last century, the NKVD archive was located in the building).

The value of such architecture and why to love it
In the 20th century, Russian architecture underwent many changes. Ornamentally rich Art Nouveau gave way to constructivism with strict forms and no decoration. Then —
rethinking the classics during the reign of Stalin and the subsequent fight against excesses during the “thaw”.
The modernist utilitarianism of Brezhnev's stagnation closer to the 1980s is diluted by timid Soviet postmodernism, playing with meanings and forms. And the collapse of the socialist system and the transition to a market economy gave rise to a confident direction of post-Soviet postmodernism -
capitalist romanticism.
Closer to the beginning of the 2000s, regional varieties of caprom were formed in different regions of Russia and the former countries of the socialist camp. In Belarus there is an agro-renaissance, in Moscow there is the Luzhkov style. St. Petersburg was marked by glassism, named after the former governor. Saransk has its own vibe - folk-metropolitan, combining rainbow village colors with classical rigor.
From the point of view of accepted aesthetic normativity, the architecture of Saransk can well be called tasteless. But the socio-cultural and political significance of the center, rebuilt in the style of kaprom, is amazing. This is a very clear reflection of its time. The material embodiment of the well-fed noughties with an admixture of Mordovian identity.
The era of capitalist romanticism is over. In some regions its residual influence is still felt, but general architectural trends convincingly show that the vector is again pointing towards greater utilitarianism and simplification. No one will return to the 2000s; the buildings of that time are unique. Therefore, from a cultural point of view, they are no less significant than any other historical architecture. To paraphrase the iconic words of Leonid Parfenov, we can say that Saransk is something without which it is impossible to imagine us, and even more difficult to understand.
